Dear Universe

Today, it is tolerable to be me because people are asking me worldwide if I´m okay. Now it´s my time to ask you, dear readers and followers, are you okay?

I´m okay today because I have somebody to talk with. My thoughts goes to those who have themselves only.

We all need to be strong and learn to cope with this as soon as possible. The silence between us must be broken, for we need to cooperate and contribute with what we have to give.

I hope I write with a positive tone, for I believe in searching for the positive sides. Especially during a worldwide crisis like this it is important to help each other and not only care for oneself.

We help our neighbors with their three children, and we care for our dear family member and friend, who works with elderly and weak people, while the rest of us try to get at least some sleep.

Tonight, I will probably talk things through with a close family member and a friend for life. My husband needs to rest, since he works hard every day to make this as tolerable as possible for us.

My face in the mirror has a serious look, yet there is also room for a big smile. I´m okay, I tell myself and smile. We have to go through this one way or the other.

And we might as well be as positive as possible no matter what happens. It will take the world many efforts to regain its strength. But we can, if we only dare to try.

The Italians are singing from their apartments. The 10 biggest companies in Denmark are working together to help the transport sector. And we are told that there will be more to consider soon.

Here, we are telling the truth in a kind way.

Dear Universe, please aid us learning our lessons now and help us to grow and work together also long after this is over.

I´m considering making a ritual with healing as the firm focus. An evening ritual to relax mind, body, and soul feels appropriate at the moment.

Today, I´m more in the mood to watch something funny on TV as a counterweight to all the deeply serious things going on.

The world needs some time off, we all need to relax and do things in a slower rhythm than usual. It is unusual times, and we are in unknown territory.

My three philosophical cats are right now enjoying their afternoon meal, and my little, wise, old dog sleeps peacefully right beside me.

I have lit candles, pieces of chocolate and fresh coffee. My mood is getting better as I write. I feel an inner strength growing forth that I didn´t know that I had in me.

I will fight this every inch of the way, do my best to cope with new regulations practically on a daily basis now, and work hard to keep my spirits up.

But I will also be brutally honest with how I feel. We also speak the truth to the children in a loving way. And together we will come through this.

Soon, we will take the little, wise, old dog on a walk in the garden, so he can play and be a happy, friendly dog in free air.

And I will write another paragraph or three in my novel.

So dear Universe, grant us all happiness, inner peace, a good health, and let us be kind toward each other.

Which once again reminds me these four lines, where I still search for the original author :

“Happiness is the new rich. Inner peace is the new success. Health is the new wealth. Kindness is the new cool.”

Blessed Be.
